I am not much into Grenache based wines anymore. Having said that, this has turned into a delicious little fruit bomb. Sweet and Jamey, but not stewed. Still some freshness and wonderful nose with slight balsamic note. No trace of being tired. If you told me blind this was well aged brunello, I would believe it.

This was drunk alongside the 2001 Tondonia. The latter eclipsed this one. It was lighter, maybe cooler vintage, not much concentration or warmth in the wine. But it still was packing fruits, satin tannins, medium finish and hence the score above 90.

No proper note - last wine of the night. Still quite good fruit and some pepper on the palate, dont think i would wait any longer with this. If i where to give a score (which i wont cause of lacking notes and memory to do the wine justice) i would say very good quality, 86-87p,

Good for summer BBQ outside. Can go a few years more. Score for QPR.

Still totally ok. BBQ outside and for that + the QPR, it is a very good wine. Sort of CDP on the cheap. NOT over the hill.
